The IPIA has announced details of Recognising Excellence 2025, which aims to foster shared connection and collaboration within the UK print industry
The Independent Print Industries Association (IPIA) has announced details of its latest Recognising Excellence event, which will return on December 3rd.
The print industry event will return to the Crowne Plaza, Stratford-upon-Avon, for an event that promises to foster shared connection and collaboration within the UK print industry.
Recognising Excellence will see printers, technology developers, suppliers, and agencies come together for a programme of activities aiming to strengthen the industry’s collective success.
The event will include a core expo, a business networking hub, and a networking lunch, culminating in a gala dinner and awards show.
The expo and networking hub are open from 11am to 3pm, providing attendees with access to more than 20 print technology, media, and service providers. They will also stand the chance of winning £1.5k worth of prizes as part of a ‘stamp draw competition’.
Following the day’s networking and discovery events, the gala dinner will begin at 7pm, including a champagne reception and a three-course dinner and drinks service. The Recognising Excellence Awards ceremony will then commence at 9pm.
The Print Show has been announced as one of the sponsors of the event, oficially supporting two awards – namely 'Innovation Masterclass Award – Highly Commended', and 'Associate of the Year Award – Highly Commended'.
Online print provider, Print.com UK, has also been announced as a sponsor for the Print Management Company of the Year Award. The company is also nominated for the Innovation Masterclass Award, with Print.com UK co-creator, Cadie Mayor, nominated for the Young Leader Award.
Alasdair Browne, chair of the IPIA, says: “Recognising Excellence is far more than an event – it’s a cornerstone of our mission to bring people together and help businesses flourish.
“Our industry thrives on connection. Whether that’s through discovering the latest technology on the expo floor, building trust and partnerships over lunch, or celebrating the creativity and resilience that define our members at the Awards, this event embodies the spirit of what makes the print community so special.”
